Poliomyelitis (polio) vaccine

Polio affected tens of thousands of people before the vaccine came to Canada. Consider immunization for your children.

Thanks to the polio vaccine, Canada is now polio free. Since there is no cure for polio, it is extremely important to prevent the disease through immunization. The vaccine is available to all Canadians and is a requirement in schools and day cares.
